So around Wednesday, my sister sends me a phone number of a colleague of hers.
I figure, new friends are always welcome. So I start harassing her. Friday comes, we have a date. Took her to Percy Ricardo's in Northcliff - Very cozy.
She arrives, and my jaw drops. She's beautiful. But not makeup, blonde model beautiful. A perfect, natural beauty, with none of the scars of her years. She has lines around her eyes, she smiles a lot. Great smile too, must entertain her to keep her smiling!
The conversation flowed, and after dinner, we sat in my car - She wanted to know what music I listened to. She's familiar with Rock, but not the stuff that I have. Type O, Theatre of Tragedy, Nightwish, etc. So I edumacated her.
So we felt great around one another. All the SMS of the first three days (Wednesday to Friday) let me into believing she's a great gal. I was mistaken. She was an awesome gal, that's what she was!
The we left for Melville, to get a few beers, maybe coffee later on. She likes beer. That 100,000,000 points in her favour.
We spent the whole time talking shit, no particular subjects. Then, at 4:30am, we said goodbye. I drove with her to her house, to make sure she's safe. We used seperate cars, to reduce the awkwardness if things turned sour. Which never happened.
So I give her a hug, and I feel her heart beating rather heavily. At this point, I was just like "She's cool, should go out again together soon". Her heartbeat said "I dig you", and the hug confirmed it, it was so tight and close. She became shy, and she let her guard down, showing the "Girl" behind the veil of toughness and locked gates. I like what I see.
The drive home revealed that she's into me. Some really nice messages as I drove. I became more keen on seeing her again, she seemed so impressed with me. Will need some more time on this though, it's too early to judge.
An entire Saturday without her was hell. The evening, I went to club Syn, and later to Zeplins in Pretoria. Nobody had anything interesting to say to me, they all bored me to death. In comparison, of course.
On Sunday, I couln't wait anymore, I felt very intrigued by her. She was visiting a friend, but I just negotiated to see her when she returns. So we go to a movie at 6pm, watched Butterfly Effect. Had a beer before the movie, then we went into the theatre. She doesn't seem keen on watching a movie, don't think she's much of flick fan. But she DID agree...
Wow, she's beautiful. Oh wait, I'm supposed to watch the movie. Good flick, methinx. Confusing, but not disappointing at all. I shift a little closer, she smells good. She moves closer also. Nice. Movie was cool, and she enjoyed the story. I'm glad she wasn't bored. Really pleased.
Grabbed coffee after the movie. Something's different, we're more relaxed all of a sudden. Driving home, she wants to stop everywhere for some coffee. Don't think she wants me to drop her off and go home. I don't intend on doing so either.
At her spot, she invites me in. I accept. The time was 10:30pm. We start chatting, talking all kinds of stuff. Deeper than earlier the evening. She's quite shy. By 12:15, I think, gotta go. She excuses herself, and returns with a blanket. It being winter, I welcome it!
We sit on the same couch, no shoes. Tiny couch, very close.
Smelling better every second...
Discussion turns to messages we've sent during the Saturday. She says they were sincere. I say the same about mine, and I mean it. Can't be happening, we only met 2 days ago!
At around 2:30, after lots of hinting and whatnot, she says that she's falling in love with me. I feel butterflies in my stomach. Turn my head away. Find myself saying : "I think I'm falling in love with you too". I mean that as well.
More talking, some hugs, touching of face, etc.

Note to the perverted amongst you:
No, you single minded fuck. I did not rip her clothes off and I did not violate her every orifice. If you want porn, go to Hustler.com, not my blog.

Fell asleep around 4:00am. I remember sweating a lot. Thinking it was nerves. She held me all the time, and it was the best, most intense feeling I have ever experienced. Not even Estelle could match this girl. And this was day 2, or day 3, if you want to get technical. Wake up every half and hour, wanting to kiss this girl.
She also sleeps very lightly, half awaking every now and again, mumbling something, taking a sip of coke or adjusting the blanket.
Awoke at 6am, only got up at 7:20am. When I left her spot, there was nothing left of the tough, independant, single girl I entered the house with earlier. She was soft, cute, and very shy. Went home, bathed, and went to work. Told the work that I overslept because of medication. They bought it.
This was a relaxed day at work. I cannot stop thinking of her, she has bewitched me.

If you think my story is soppy, go fuck yourself. I have not felt this passionate about anyone in 6 years. Actually, not ever! I have been exceptionally lonely, and now I can live again.

She makes me feel complete. Thank you Taryn.
